At Métropole Monte-Carlo, summer 2026 means Negroni Club nights and Michelin-starred dinners
Picture a summer evening in Monte-Carlo, Negroni in hand, beside a pool bathed in golden light. That is precisely what Métropole Monte-Carlo has in store for the 2026 season, with a dining programme designed to suit every moment of the day and every mood.
The Odyssey Negroni Club: the standout experience of summer at Métropole Monte-Carlo
This may well be the most original spot of the season. Every day from 5 pm to 8 pm, Zia sets up its Negroni Club beside the Odyssey by Karl Lagerfeld pool. The concept revolves around a playful exploration of the iconic cocktail, served in a relaxed and convivial atmosphere.
This aperitivo moment is far more than a simple pause. It flows naturally into dinner, since Zia also serves its Italian cuisine in the same Odyssey by Karl Lagerfeld setting. An entire evening can unfold around this one venue, from the first cocktail through to the final course.
Three venues, three atmospheres to shape your stay
Métropole Monte-Carlo structures its summer offering around several restaurants and bars, each with its own rhythm and identity. For anyone planning a stay, that translates into genuine freedom of choice from one evening to the next.
- La terrasse des Ambassadeurs, helmed by chef Christophe Cussac, serves dinner Thursday through Monday.
- Yoshi, dedicated to Japanese cuisine, welcomes guests Tuesday through Saturday.
- Le Lobby Bar is open every day in what is described as an elegantly relaxed setting.
- Odyssey, poolside, hosts Zia’s Negroni Club daily from 5 pm to 8 pm, followed by Zia’s Italian dinner service.
The staggered opening days are worth noting. La terrasse des Ambassadeurs and Yoshi do not share the same schedule, which makes it easy to experience both across a multi-night stay. The Lobby Bar and Odyssey, meanwhile, are available every single day.
Japanese cuisine and Christophe Cussac’s table: two pillars of the palace
Yoshi stands as one of the very few Japanese restaurants within a palace hotel in the Principality. Open Tuesday through Saturday, it offers guests of Métropole Monte-Carlo a serious option for those who want to alternate culinary registers throughout their stay.
La terrasse des Ambassadeurs represents a different facet of the hotel entirely. Chef Christophe Cussac serves dinner there Thursday through Monday, and the open-air terrace is a natural way to make the most of long summer evenings at the heart of Monte-Carlo.
Why Métropole Monte-Carlo deserves special attention in 2026
The hotel’s own positioning makes it clear: this is one of the rare independent five-star palaces in the Principality. That independent status sets it apart from the major international hotel groups present in Monaco. For anyone looking to plan a weekend in Monte-Carlo, find a hotel with a spa in Monaco, or book a restaurant in Monaco, that distinction is a concrete factor worth weighing.
Because the Métropole Monte-Carlo summer 2026 offer extends well beyond a single restaurant or a single experience. It covers aperitivo hour, dinner, Italian, Japanese and French cuisine, a daily bar and an open-air terrace. Each venue within the hotel offers, in its own way, a different take on a Monégasque summer evening. It is that coherence across the whole that makes the palace an unmissable reference point for the season.
